The Motorsports Zone returns this Saturday

South Texas race fans will be happy to learn that the Motorsports Zone radio show will return to the air waves for a fifth season.

The show, which is hosted by Chuck Licata, will air Saturdays on KVET-AM 1300 The Zone in Austin, Texas. The show time will be announced by Wednesday of this week, once a time is confirmed, Licata said.

Licata will be joined by Bobby Chaffee, who in recent years served as a fill-in co-host. Chaffee will be a permanent co-host for 2008.

“There are several people who made this happen,” Licata said in a news release. “First and foremost, Mac Daniels at Clear Channel Austin, his effort is what got this done in a short time. Also, Michael McDonald will be instrumental in sales and promotions of the show.”

In addition to the Motorsports Zone radio show, Licata said he and Chaffe will continue to work together as the voices of K-MAC Sports online broadcasts of the Texas Super Racing Series races on KMACSports.com.

Licata said the show will be more diverse than in past years and there will be segments involving local stock car racing and dirt-track racing. Licata added that Bill “Sarge” Masom, host of Dirt Track Insider on K-MAC Sports, will join Licata and Chaffee once every three weeks to give updates on dirt-track racing.

South Texas race fans who are unable to receive the station signal on their radio, can listen to the show live at AM1300TheZone.com.
